Default Ford B-Max battery known fault

I have a 3 month old B-Max. Twice now this has had a flat battery for no apparent reason. The dealer now tells me there is a known problem that Ford is looking into but they don't know the cause or how to fix it. This doesn't seem satisfactory as they can't give any idea on how long this will take.

Can anyone suggest what I should do next?

Thanks.

Wait for the software update.
If you want to speed up the process let Ford borrow your car for testing.

Had our B-MAX 9 weeks and keep getting battery drain then car won't start after only 3 days standing. Booked into Ford dealer last week and reported no fault found.
Update. I complained again to Lincoln dealer about our B-MAX Battery Draining, vehicle flat after 3 days parked. I ask them to check with Ford UK if there was a software update to rectify the problem.
Dealer phoned me 1 hour later to say they are uploading a software from Ford and asked me to book car in for the update....Hopefully this will be a cure.

Fullflush Why should I have to buy a booster pack...car less than 1 year old needs to be put right and fit for purpose. It's Ford restorability to get it sorted.
